Pro Tips

Cauliflower should feel firm, heavy and compact. The leaves should be fresh in appearance and the heads should be white or creamy white, with tight, unblemished curds. Cauliflower can be eaten raw or cooked. Before cooking, cut florets into similar sizes to ensure uniform cooking. Cauliflower is mild in taste so it works well in spicy and flavorful dishes. Blanch or serve raw in your favorite salad or as vegetable dippers. Chop and add to stir-fry, pasta sauce or steam and serve with cheese sauce.
